O sacred solitude! Divine retreat! Choice of the prudent! envy of the great! By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade, We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid: The genuine offspring of her lov'd embrace (Strangers on earth!) are innocence and peace: There, from the ways of men laid safe ashore, We smile to hear the distant tempest roar; There, blest with health, with business unperplex'd, This life we relish, and ensure the next.
